    Best regards from hpenvy1

    Hello:

    Your model has the AMD/Intel switchable graphics.

    It is unlikely that the W8 AMD graphics driver will work on W8.1.

    Normally, you can use some of the drivers W7/W8 on W8.1, but the graphics is very doubtful - not switchable graphics anyway.

    You can run the windows 8.1 upgrade wizard and see what it reports.

  • Using the function of scan macOS Sierra HP Officejet 7300 series network printer does not work; He had no problem with El Capitan...

    Printer HP Officejet 7300 network series that allows to work flawlessly with El Capitan does not work after the upgrade to Sierra.

    With macOS Sierra, when used as a network print service printer works fine however scan does not work. Programs like the Image Capture, HP Easy Scan etc does not see the printer. However, if the printer is directly connected to the Macbook Pro using the usb cable, a new printer is added to the list of printers (it shows print and scan functions while the printer network in the list shows only printing function) and the scanner works well with Image Capture, etc. If the usb cable is removed disconnects this printer in the list and there is no way to turn it on. I have the latest update for the printer installed from the App store. It looks like a driver issue, but I wonder if there is a work around for this problem...

    Open Preview.app. Under file in the menu bar, you see import of 'name of your scanner?

  • Halo 2 for Windows Vista does not work on windows 7 32-bit computer

    Recently I have windows 7 installed on my computer and I installed Halo 2 for Windows Vista on this subject. I start the game, but before that I get a lot, it stops and I get a box that says Halo 2 has stopped playing for some reason any. He is looking for a solution and comes up saying that it does not find a waiting for Microsoft to find a. It happens the same thing every time.

    It seems that everything I needed an update. I went and did the updates and then began the game as administrator and it works fine now. I appreciate the help, though, and I don't know that your tips will help someone else as well. Thank you.  PS My game doesn't have the compatibility mode on it. Everything else is good. What is happening with this?

  • My OfficeJet 6310 on the latest drivers for Windows XP, does not make the PDF thumbnails?

    I was too tired of Adobe and too often updates security etc.

    If I traded in open source Sumatra PDF instead.

    It was there of loong, but then I got an OfficeJet 6310 and now scans much paper in PDF files, which works very well (if the value of the resolution is less than 300 dpi), except that no image of the thumbnail is created! It's embarrassing because I like sail to explore using the prior view of thumbnails.

    I don't like the idea of return to Adobe PDF Reader, then I ask you out there if anyone has an idea where the problem is maybe?

    Thanks in advance

    Peter

    Well, since no one has replied, I started to experiment.

    I have re-installed Adobe Reader (sighh) again and found that the registry has been added:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{49400A7C-81A8-4F52-8CCE-D54739EE87EC}
    Adobe PDF Preview Handler
    AppID       {5D238751-7E51-4F24-9E7D-93C58881B20B}
    DisplayName @"C:\Programmer\Reader\pdfprevhndlrshim.exe",-101
    

    There is therefore, seems to add some sort of "plug-in" for MS Explorer, which can act on the creation of tile and similar.

    Now my wife can use the freeware of Xplorer2 fancy, and it will beautifully preview PDFs in navigating the file system.

    So until a fancy OpenSource community finds interesting to build this similar functionality, I'll stick with Adobe, so my wife just to navigate its abundant PDF files.

    Hope this tip can be useful for some of you.

  • Update for windows update does not work

    Yesterday (24/06/2014), Microsoft has released an update for windows update, which according to them was necessary in order to receive new updates. It is installed without any problem, except that it doesn't work.

    I tried the fixit tool, but who finds no errors. To make things worse, it seems that this update of windows installed another version of the update agent is suitable for my system (Windows 7 Home Premium). Windows support for this update site indicates that the correct version is Windows update agent 7.6.7600.256, but windows update version 7.6.7600.320 and you can see the result of the image as to what happens when I try to check the updates.

    I prefer not to do a system restore, but how to fix this?

    Is this the same issue corrected / posted by LoginBroken on February 23, 2011?

    Dave in pa,

    Do a system restore point.

    Open Notepad. Copy the information between the lines, then paste them into Notepad

    ===========================================

    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wups.dll
    regsvr32 wups2.dll

    ===========================================

    Save as Update.cmd

    Right-click on Update.cmd, on the left, click Run as administrator. Answer Yes to the 4 questions.

    Restart the computer and see if the Windows updates works.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 7077ez wireless for windows 8 does not work after upgrade to windows 7 64 bit

    I have the broadcom card. I have try all the drivers and I still cant install drivers I see on household also setup.rul 342 of the installation error wireless start won't start. What should do?

    Hi Emilinator,

    More than likely HP won't to material support for Windows 8 on any system purchased before October 1, 2011.  Most of the Windows 7 drivers work in Windows 8.

    You can try this pagewhich provides measures to solve the problems of connection to broadband for Windows 8.

    Check out this page to see if your computer has been tested by HP with Windows 8.

    You can run the Upgrade Wizard, which will scan your PC and report on what is currently installed on your PC is compatible with Windows 8.  This guide was updated for Windows 8 provides lots of information which is needed for all those planning the upgrade.

    Good luck
